Second week with Glen

The day after we came back from the Okanagan we went to Vancouver with Glen, we went down to English Bay and then to Granville Island.

In Granville Island, I convinced Kyle to scare the pigeons away, it was pretty funny to see Kyle screaming and scaring the birds away. Can you tell how scared the birds are?

After Granville Island, we checked out Confederation Park in Burnaby. They have miniature trains which you can ride, of course Aaron and Kyle enjoyed that a lot.

On Wednesday we went for dinner at White Rock, we waded into the water, which Aaron and Kyle enjoyed, even Keisha went for a swim as well.

Thursday was Glen's last night here and Glen and I headed to the NorthWest Washington Fair in Lynden, WA. First we checked out some of the animals and found this evil llamma!

You know you are at a country fair when the speakers are held up by a forklift.

The main reason for going to the fair was to see Third Day, they put on a pretty good show although a bit short as it was only 1.5 hours. At most concerts I go to I videotape a song or two with my little Canon shoot, this was the first concert I was asked not to. They asked me after I was finished filming, but I thought it was a bit odd.

After the show Glen and I played a game each, I played darts and Glen tried the duck pond, we walked away with 2 small prizes, which our kids got to enjoy.

I only had my Canon point and shoot, but I still tried some long shutter speed while making a garbage can a tripod. A few turned out alright.

I forgot to post this in the last entry. When we were up in the Okanagan I took panoramic shots with Jamie's camera and put them together. I think this is the view that Shelby wants her dream house to have.

Anyway we had a great time with Glen and were glad he was able to visit. Glen we miss you already!

Thanks for a wonderful time Eric and Shelby, I really enjoyed every moment. Oh how I miss Turtle-Turtle and excuse me and I still look out for trucks. No-one appreciates them as much as Aaron. Let us not forget the shy smile of Kyle when he wakes up and of course me being chased by a penguin. I think I miss you guys a whole bunch.

The picture of Kyle chasing the penguins is priceless and the mini train looks fun. Hey--aren't you supposed to be camping?

Elizabeth said...

Oops! I meant pigeons but did Glen really get chased by a penguin?

Eric said...

I think the penguin Glen is referring to is Kyle.

Too true, a penguin driven by little boy Kyle at 8 am is a frightening sight.
